The three child stars of Harry Potter have invested a third of their earnings in worldwide luxury property, between them building up a portfolio of mortgage free properties. With the huge profits from their latest film, part two of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, yet to come through more purchases are no doubt on the cards.

One of them may consider buying JK Rowling’s childhood home, a detached grade II listed cottage with three bedrooms in the village of Chepstow. It comes with numerous original features and a mature cottage garden, however the price tag of £400,000 is well below the trio’s more extravagant purchases.

In London Daniel Radcliffe owns a £3million apartment in Soho and a large flat near his parents in leafy Fulham, whilst Emma Watson opted for a £3million townhouse in the classy North London suburb of Hampstead. Elsewhere in the UK Rupert Grint has bought three houses in the Hertfordshire countryside including a £5.4million manor house in 22 acres of grounds.

Further afield Emma Watson has acquired a £1million ski chalet in the French Alps whilst Daniel Radcliffe clearly prefers the American city of New York where he owns a flat overlooking the hudson river and a £4million townhouse in the trendy Greenwich Village area.
